Prinny's Taylor is the title of a biography of Louis Bazalgette, who was tailor to the Prince of Wales, later George IV, for 32 years. It was written by his great-great-great-great grandson, Charles Bazalgette, and is now available as a trade paperback from Amazon and other distributors.

Here is a cut taken from a photograph of my great-great-grandfather Joseph Bazalgette as a younger man, and shows better what he looked like, before most of his face was obscured by the famous face-fungus which makes him such a familiar image,

The picture below shows him in much later life, with his youngest daughter Anna Constance in the driving seat. The coachman is probably Robert Dann.

Anna married Frederick Blacker and one of their grandsons was General Sir Cecil “Monkey” Blacker.
